Cowbell owners

[Tim]

So as you all know the holidays are coming up soon. I want to ask for a cowbell since i know they are fairly cheap. whats a good one in the price range of $20-$40?
I was looking into the meinl hammered ones. they look nice but they also need to sound nice too. Im going to try some out next time I go to the place I owned the dumbass worker in drums in(guitarcenter).Itll be easier if i have a clue of what to try out before i go in though. suggestions? im either gonna get LP or Meinl ones.

[Drum Phil]

Well i have a stagg, pearl and meinl steel one. The best sounding by far is the stagg and that was way cheap. If they have those try them. Meinl ones sound incredible too

[Tim]

yeah. ill try the meinl for sure. at this GC we dont have stagg anything so i know that wont be there. we dont even get toca. just meinl, pearl, LP and i beleive thats it

[Byron]

LP is classic and perfect for all your applications for it

[Jezen]

I really like the hand hammered Meinl one.

EDIT: I also like Plan B's cowbell. It's a.....Samba bell? :confused:

[billdrum]

Can't go wrong with LP!

[Kronos]

I have a hand hammered Meinl steel one, and it sounds great (and very, very, loud)

I got it because it was the only one the shop had on the day I decided to get one and I got a hefty discount.
Couldn't say how it compares with others but it is welded all the way along the seam, and the two sides are butt jointed rather than one inside the other and spot welded, which makes it a lot stronger than most.
Seems like it will last forever.

i have a LP Ridge Rider (rock classic) and i love it!

[some jive turkey]

Is anyone else out there tired of hearing people blurt out "more Cowbell!...hahahahahahahahaha" and gigs and band practices?

[Drum Phil]

I have 3 already so i dont tend to hear it

[Bowler]

I'm finding it hard to find a place in my kit for my cowbell. where do ye have ye'rs?

[Kronos]

On the bass hoop

[Bowler]

Ya i no you can get an arm that attaches to the base hoop, i'll have to look into getting one.

[Jezen]

I had mine one the bass hoop, but now I sit higher so it needs a new home. Right now its to the left, above my aux snare, but I want it to go to the right above my floor tom.

[Parradiddle Pete]

Meinl Kenny Aronoff Signature Hamerexd Steelbell thingy...8", Bloody loud and sounds gourgeous

If you look to the left of the snare you'll see my 3rd which is a foot cowbell :)

[Mike Goes Numb]

An LP Black Beauty will sound very nice as well.

[FockerTheLopper]

Black beauty, I'm pretty sure its not going to cost too much

[Brokensticks]

I have no clue what kind of cowbell I have I got it from my Aunt and Uncle last Christmas, I should check it out..

[Money$hot]

Got an LP 'Lil ridge rider; sounds great, but it's limited because of the Jenigor bar on the top edge. Good stick saver though

[White Riot!]

mine sticks out above the far side of my snare's rim

[GooseFilms.net]

Hm... paiste needs to start making a cowbell, made of the 2oo2 alloy. wonder how that would sound

[spirit]

Or the Sig. alloy.

Mmmmmm....

[Double Bass Jim]

I dig the LP bells, always sound great.

[Brokensticks]

how about them LP jam blocks.

[Ill Mitch]

LP Rock Cowbell. I don't care much for the ridge rider version, it takes away from that great cowbell tone.

[White Riot!]

you can always find good sounds in cheap cowbells

[Tim]

how about them LP jam blocks.

[Drum Phil]

[Chris]

And a stagg one

[Jezen]

I'm happy with my percussion plus cowbell. I might get another one, maybe one of those little silver ones.

[Tim]

today I picked up a gonbops cowbell. its awesome.

[Chester]

id love to get a cowbell and a jam block or 2, but theres just so much stuff on my "to get" list haha

[Undisco Kidd]

Sambago Bells.

I like them more than cowbells, but I'll get a Black Beauty.

[MeaninglessPhoto]

LP for sure.

I personally feel that one is a little loud in general.
